Codex Community Hackathon with Activeloop - Redwood City
Codex Community Hackathon with Activeloop - Redwood City
Join us for a fast, high-energy Codex Community Hackathon in collaboration with Activeloop, the team behind Hivemind, a shared memory layer for AI coding agents.
This event is designed for builders, founders, engineers, students, AI tool users, and curious people who want to explore how Codex and AI coding agents can help teams build faster, learn from previous work, and turn real engineering workflows into reusable knowledge.
This is a community-style mini-hackathon, not a long traditional hackathon.
The goal is simple: meet interesting people, form teams, explore a real technical challenge from Activeloop, build or present something practical with Codex, and pitch your idea in front of judges and community members.
About Activeloop
Activeloop is building infrastructure for AI agents and AI engineering workflows.
Their Hivemind product helps AI coding agents share memory across sessions, teammates, and tools. Instead of every agent starting from zero, Hivemind captures what agents learn, turns useful patterns into reusable skills, and makes that knowledge available to the team.
At this hackathon, Activeloop will introduce a real-world challenge around AI coding agents, memory, workflow capture, and how teams can make agent work more reliable and reusable.
Who Should Attend?
This event is open to:
builders, founders, engineers, students, product people, designers, operators, and anyone curious about Codex, AI coding agents, and the future of software development.
No advanced coding background is required.
However, because this is a short mini-hackathon, we strongly recommend coming prepared with an idea, a rough concept, a small project, a demo, or a problem you want to solve.
What to Expect
Expect a warm, interactive, community-driven evening with:
networking with builders, founders, engineers, and AI community members
a short introduction to Activeloop and the hackathon challenge
practical exploration of Codex and AI coding workflows
team formation
a focused build / prepare sprint
project pitches
judge feedback
community prizes or recognition
professional photos and new connections
This is not a passive event.
Every attendee will be encouraged to participate, meet others, share what they are building, and explore how Codex and AI coding agents can be used in practical workflows.
Important Rule
All teams should use Codex, ChatGPT, or another AI coding tool during the hackathon.
The main focus is not just building something polished, but showing an interesting, practical, or creative use of AI-assisted building.
Suggested Project Directions
You may build or present ideas around:
AI coding agents
shared memory for engineering teams
capturing useful agent workflows
turning repeated coding patterns into reusable skills
improving developer productivity with Codex
making AI-assisted engineering more reliable
tools that help founders and small teams build faster
practical use cases for Activeloop / Hivemind-style agent memory
You can come with your own idea, join a team, or build around the Activeloop challenge.
Pitch Format
Each team will have:
2 minutes to pitch
2 minutes for Q&A
1 slide maximum
Recommended pitch structure:
Start with a one-sentence pitch
Explain the problem
Show your solution or concept
Explain how you used Codex or AI coding tools
Finish with one strong one-sentence summary
Please keep your pitch short, clear, and focused.
Judging Criteria
Teams will be evaluated based on:
Interesting Use of Codex
How creative, practical, or surprising was the team’s use of Codex or AI coding tools?
Practical Value
Does the idea solve a real problem or create clear value for developers, founders, or teams?
Relevance to the Activeloop Challenge
Does the project connect to AI coding agents, shared memory, workflow capture, reusable skills, or better engineering collaboration?
Clarity of the Pitch
Can the team explain the problem, solution, and value clearly?
Execution and Feasibility
Is the idea realistic, well-structured, and possible to build, test, or improve?
Main focus: the strongest team will be the one that shows the most interesting and practical use of Codex in connection with a real developer workflow.
You Will Leave With
new connections with builders, founders, and engineers
a better understanding of Codex and AI coding agents
practical ideas for using AI tools in real engineering workflows
exposure to Activeloop’s work around agent memory and reusable skills
experience pitching a technical idea in a supportive community setting
fresh ideas for building faster with better tools
